Benefits of technology
This patent is about a system and methods for testing components of an aerosol delivery device. It describes a control board that can execute a diagnostic test to check if it is working properly. This test can be initiated by an external test apparatus. The system can quickly identify any faults in the control board, which can help avoid faulty devices being released into the market. This also improves manufacturing efficiency.
Problems solved by technology
Many of those devices purportedly have been designed to provide the sensations associated with cigarette, cigar, or pipe smoking, but without delivering considerable quantities of incomplete combustion and pyrolysis products that result from the burning of tobacco.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a system and related methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for testing components of an aerosol delivery device. For example, a system for testing a control board for an aerosol delivery device may include a control board for an aerosol delivery device and a test apparatus. The test apparatus may provide a test initiation signal to the control board. The control board may execute an onboard diagnostic test to test operation of the control board in response to the test initiation signal. The control board may provide diagnostic information generated based on execution of the onboard diagnostic test to the test apparatus. The test apparatus may determine, based on the diagnostic information, whether the control board is faulty.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S)[0001]The present application is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14 / 464,798, entitled: A System and Related Methods, Apparatuses, and Computer Program Products for Testing Components of an Aerosol Delivery Device, filed on Aug. 21, 2014, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE[0002]The present disclosure relates to aerosol delivery devices, such as smoking articles, and more particularly to a system and related methods and computer program products for testing components of an aerosol delivery device. The smoking articles may be configured to heat a material, which may be made or derived from tobacco or otherwise incorporate tobacco, to form an inhalable substance for human consumption.BACKGROUND[0003]Many smoking devices have been proposed through the years as improvements upon, or alternatives to, smoking products that require combusting tobacco for use. Many of those...
